Intriguing mechanistic labyrinths in gold(i) catalysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many mechanistically intriguing reactions have been developed in the last decade using gold(I) as catalyst. Here we review the main mechanistic proposals in gold-catalysed activation of alkynes and allenes, in which this metal plays a central role by stabilising a variety of complex cationic intermediates.

Gold-catalyzed formation of heterocycles - an enabling new technology for medicinal chemistry.
Gold-catalyzed transformations allow efficient access to a wide scope of heterocyclic structures that serve as building blocks and pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry. Compared with other transition metal and Lewis acid catalysis, gold catalysis presents mechanistic divergence, excellent functional group tolerance and/or operational advantages. Emergent applications of gold catalysis have pla...

A mild and fully catalytic aryl–aryl cross coupling via gold-catalysed C–H activation has been achieved by merging gold and photoredox catalysis. The procedure is free of stoichiometric oxidants and additives, which were previously required in gold-catalysed C–H activation reactions. Exploiting dual gold and photoredox catalysis confers regioselectivity via the crucial gold-catalysed C–H activa...
متن کاملDual Visible Light Photoredox and Gold-Catalyzed Arylative Ring Expansion
A combination of visible light photocatalysis and gold catalysis is applied to a ring expansion-oxidative arylation reaction. The reaction provides an entry into functionalized cyclic ketones from the coupling reaction of alkenyl and allenyl cycloalkanols with aryl diazonium salts. A mechanism involving generation of an electrophilic gold(III)-aryl intermediate is proposed on the basis of mecha...
متن کاملGold-catalyzed cyanosilylation reaction: homogeneous and heterogeneous pathways.
Gold had been considered to be an extremely inert metal, but recently it was found that nanometer-sized gold particles on metal-oxide supports acted as catalysts for simple organic reactions, such as oxidation and hydrogenation, even at or below room temperature. Herein, we report that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of zero oxidation state (Au0) are catalytically active for a C--C bond-forming reac...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into the synergistic catalysis by Au(I), Ga(III), and counterions in the Nakamura reaction.
A computational study based on density functional theory (DFT) establishes the mechanisms for synergistic Au/Ga catalyzed addition of unactivated terminal alkynes to dicarbonyls, the Nakamura reaction. The role played by each of the metal catalysts and the counterion in the reaction has been elucidated. It has been shown that the triazole (TA) ligand could specifically activate the formation of...
